Transplant patients - anyone get anemia or Parvo Virus?

@caretakermom, it sounds like your local nephrologist (home neph) is coordinating with the Mayo Clinic nephrology. If you have any questions about your husband's transplant care, don't hesitate to contact Mayo Clinic through his patient portal account or with an appointment coordinator at Mayo AZ https://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Hi @colleenyoung ,
My husband is the kidney transplant patient from Mayo Az in March 2022 - we live in Calif. He's currently experiencing issues with severe anemia that our hematologist believes is due to one of the anti-rejection drugs. Our home neph has informed us he is not in a position to resolve this because he is NOT a transplant nephrologist so he is trying to work with the Mayo Az transplant nephrologist.
Mayo says to get bone marrow biospsy - results should be available soon.
Question we have is if we feel or on the recommendations of our home neph that we should connect with a Mayo Az neph, would we able to schedule an appointment with one of the Mayo Az nephrologists - hopefully one that husband has seen previously? Does Mayo Az accept appointments from kidney transplant patient who has past the 3+ year mark, or does it refer back to the local/home nephrologist? Feeling we will probably need to talk to Mayo Az nephrologist because the resolution may be a change/modification of current transplant regimen that requires consultation from a transplant nephrologist.
